The creative and innovative genius of the horror and fantasy genre, Guillermo del Toro, has found another hit in his latest TV series for FX, called The Strain. The book-to-screen adaptation of a present-day New York City overrun by a vampiric virus is a refreshing new spin on the classic mythos of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Borrowing similar eerie details, del Toro’s and Chuck Hogan’s best-selling novel features familiar horror elements, plot and characters from the classic novel, revamped for a new generation without the romanticism.
